Advocates for climate legislation don’t want their cause to get buried along with everything else by the record levels of snowfall in Washington.
Climate skeptics have used Snowpocalyse/Snowmageddon to poke fun at the notion that the planet is warming. But skeptics are only using the snow to obfuscate overwhelming evidence that the world is, in fact, heating up, according to Joe Romm, a former Energy Department official and author of the Climate Progress blog.
“An individual weather event is not climate,” Romm said during a conference call with reporters that was organized by the Center for American Progress to fire back at global warming doubters.
Romm was joined on the conference call by Jeff Masters, director of meteorology for the Weather Underground. Masters called the storms “truly extraordinary.”
